I don’t want to explain what a floppy disk was
wow, holy shit, somebody made the exact same joke in an entirely different context in a whatsapp group I’m in less than a day ago lol
hardcore baader meinhof phenomenon moment here… does this mean I now have to move to Germany and start doing urban guerilla tactics?
Yes.
I remember splitting .zip files of single SNES roms across multiple floppies at my friend’s house and then was only able to play them at full speed without sound on the family computer running Windows 95 with a 90MHz Pentium.
For the unaware, there is a name for this - Skeuomorphism.
A skeuomorph is a derivative object that retains ornamental design cues (attributes) from structures that were necessary in the original.
Boomer meme but like in a good way
We’ll be 3000 years into the future and they’ll still be using a floppy as a save icon
There’s sd and cf to fdd bus adapters because so many things still use them and the drives and media are reaching end of production and eol combined.
i think floppy disks are cool
The last time I used one of these was in 2004.
I had a windows 95 copy on SD floppy disks, 720 KB each.
